As it seems to be the most popular post I have ever written for this blog – and because there isn’t a widely-available resource out there (except mine) on the subject – I’ve made my guide on bending tube into an ebook.
It’s available on Amazon for Kindle, on XinXii for any reading devices, and on SmashWords for any reading devices. Once it’s churned its way through SmashWords it will be on the iBookstore and the Nook, plus Dieselbooks, Kobo, and Sony eReaders.
This is a single subject article with illustrations and step-by-step instructions. There are a set of handy hints & tips and a few illustrations of finished pieces with the technique.
Let me know what you think!

Excellent, excellent tutorial. I’m going to plug it on my blog, if that’s ok with you? ;-]

Great tutorial. I haven’t bent tubing yet because I was frightened….I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the info!!

Thanks for the comments, all! Let me know what you make with this technique – we could set up a group on Flickr!
